My other daughter Belle [three] wakes at 7am, and that’s when I’ll start my day. Most of the time I’ll be holding Penelope while trying to brush Belle’s hair as she munches on some toast at the table. I need more arms!

My husband Richard and I do the nursery run at 8.30am. During the day we rotate looking after Penelope.

If I can’t have her then she’ll spend the day with Richard [33, a carpenter and builder] or my mother-in-law, who lives down the road. We also have a childminder who helps out occasionally.

For six weeks I was breastfeeding so she was with me constantly, but now I’m able to get back on top of work.

Some days I’ll be doing interviews over the phone or replying to emails from my office at home, while others I’ll be in central London filming or doing a corporate talk.

The head office for my charity The Katie Piper Foundation is also in London, so I’ll often pop in to see how everything is going or to run a workshop. Lunch is usually a salad, which I’ll eat huddled over my laptop replying to emails.

I can barely keep up with Belle’s diary. She does ballet on Monday, trampolining on Tuesday and is a member of a street-dancing group.

We have to schedule in play dates weeks in advance. After picking her up from nursery at 3.30pm, I’ll take her to one of her many activities, then we’ll head home for dinner together.
